------------------------
It appeared on the corner of her desk one morning, gleaming cherry red and chrome. It was a 1976 Thunderbird toy car and Detective Alexandra Eames was not sure what to make of it. Little toy cars did not appear randomly on the desk of a Major Case detective. She looked up to ask her partner about it, but Detective Bobby Goren was not at his desk or anywhere to be seen in the squad room.
She set her files down, sat in her chair and picked up the car to study it. It wasn't her birthday, she mused, as she opened and closed the driver side door. Actually it was the middle of February. She played with the hood, which, like the doors, could open and close, trying to think of any reason why the little car would be on the corner of her desk.
When she turned it over to check the detailing on the bottom, she found a small note taped to the undercarriage. Her eyebrows went up in surprise. She glanced around to see if anyone was watching her or pretending not to be interested when really they were. Everyone else was going about their business as usual, nothing and no one suspicious looking.
She carefully peeled the note away and opened it. It read: "Dinner?" in Bobby's familiar scrawl. Alex smiled and rolled her eyes. One of these days he'd pass notes the normal way.
